what colour combo?

[Dutch]

Ok. Im havin a hard time deciding on what colour to paint the engine and what finish to leave on the valve covers and intake. Its going to be a 306 carbed with cast ported 351 heads and the valve covers are the 1985 aluminium powerd by ford ones. Any suggestions or pics be great. Hear is a pic of the engine bay its going in

I'm a sucker for the old ford blue.... Maybe red to match the porno interiour?

[Dutch]

ford blue block, black wrinkle coat covers

[KIDAGIN]

I was thinking Ford blue block also.
Grey and blue go good together
Chrome rocker covers

[Ponyryd]

Do it all flat black, but with chrome headers and air cleaner, but also polish the words on the valve covers, keep the fins black though.

[Dutch]

nice keep em comin..brain is starting to sputter

[HyperGT]

like i posted on the other site, black , silver and some carefully placed red highlights to match interior.

This for sure !!

[Uncle Buck]

Love the ford blue but why not be different. Black block with aluminum or chrome bits and the odd touch of red to tie in the interior.

I love the ford blue but go different. Go for a gold block. Black valve covers with gold lettering and a black air cleaner with a gold finisher to hold her down.

Either of the above also look cool if you shoot the heads in grey hammertone before installing. Same for the timing cover.

Did I miss somewhere what colour the car is going to be?

I like the ford blue/chrome combo on anything but a red car.
Red car should get black/chrome combo with small red accents as pony suggested.

... polish the words on the valve covers, keep the fins black though.
I kind of like the polished fins myself. Plus easier to do.

*don't mind the power outlets ;)

[Dutch]

The car is staying the way it is. All original paint and scratches and the odd dent and the original surface rust. Not going to ruin the car by putting new paint on it. So the colour is grey with the red pin stripe.
